My first grade teacher, in High Wycombe, England, wrote in my report card that “my written work always shows imagination.” Nothing like a teacher’s praise to spark a future novelist.
Growing up with three siblings and both parents, and living in England, France, Germany, and in a variety of states, provided lots of fodder for storytelling. I’m happiest when I’m writing and spending time with family or outdoors gardening, walking, kayaking, and snowshoeing.
The best way I got to know teenagers was being a high school English teacher for eleven years, assistant principal for six years, and principal for twelve.
As of July 2022, I’m semi-retired and now write daily. My favorite part of the writing process is sharing my rough drafts with my PNWA writers’ group and family members – mostly my sister. (Photos: Fedore Photography)
